[TheFirstScout] CROW BUTTES, S.D. - In 1822, the Lakota and the Crow engaged in an outright battle here at this site, now called Crow Buttes. According to the research conducted by the Butte County Historical Society and the Game, Fish, and Parks Commission, a Lakota war party came upon a Crow camp and utterly ravaged it and violated the women.
The Crow wanted revenge, and left what was left of their village (elders, women, and children) north of the buttes at Sand Creek. The Crow war party ascended the larger butte for a better vantage of the broad landscape. It was a hastily recruited war party and they brought only weapons, no water.
The Crow war party was surrounded at the butte, pinned there by the Lakota war party. The weather on the plains being as it is, semi-arid, no rainfall to relieve the Crow war party was in sight, and they perished from lack of water.
[Breitbart] On Friday’s broadcast of “Fox News Live,” Texas Dept. of Public Safety Lt. Christopher Olivarez said he predicts that the situation on the border is “going to get a whole lot worse” in 2022.
Olivarez said the federal government has “canceled every viable resource to law enforcement, canceling the border wall, removing the Remain in Mexico policy…the three components that are needed for an effective strategy to combat this border crisis [are] manpower and technology and, of course, infrastructure. And again, all of these components have — they’re not being done by the federal government. They’ve failed to act.”
He added that the situation on the border isn’t improving, “and we anticipate going into 2022, it’s going to get a whole lot worse. Because we have not seen the numbers decline. As we continue to see illegal immigrants come across our southern border, we know that the drug trafficking organizations are continuing to pour illicit drugs across our borders, more specifically, fentanyl.”

As a former first responder (Fire Department) it was made very clear to us that that if we bust a red light running lights and sirens and are involved in an accident that cost a person their life, the driver of the emergency vehicle would be charged with man slaughter.
That said, the sentence would most likely be shorter than for an intoxicated driver who did the same thing.

[ColonelCassad] According to statements by the French Foreign Ministry and various Western media outlets, Wagner PMC is fully deploying in Mali, where a contingent of 500 people is being deployed.
Their contract is allegedly USD $11 million per month (USD $132 million per year), and the main tasks will be to ensure the protection of government employees, as well as training and education of military specialists for counter-terrorism operations. Following France, Greece condemned the deployment of Wagner PMCs in Mali. Earlier, 15 EU and NATO countries condemned the deployment of Wagner in Mali.
According to statements (not yet confirmed photo or video), the transfer of personnel goes through the Bamako airport where military transport aircraft arrive through Libya (in Libya, PMC operates on the Sirt-Al-Jufra line). Along with the military, specialists-geologists allegedly arrive (in Mali there are quite large deposits of gold, phosphates, bauxite, etc.). The French also claim that the "Russian base" will be located in Mopti on the Niger River, between Bamako and Timbuktu, and also close to the border with another French-dependent country, Burkina Faso, where French influence is also seriously eroded.
The Malian military, amid threats from the West, pretend to be a hose and continue to push France out of Mali. Along the way, neither confirming nor refuting the statements about the ongoing deployment.
The French press writes that the head of the military junta, Colonel Assimi Goita, openly mocks Macron, knowing that he is too weak to do anything serious, while the announcement from the film "Shugale 3" is being realized.
The Financial Times writes that France itself is to blame itself. It was unable to show real successes in the fight against local terrorists and separatists, which actually opened the door for Russia, which offers to do the same thing that France promised to do, only to do the right thing (good example of the CAR before.). I must ask, wen has leaving the quagmire of Afrika been anything other than a wise decision ?
In fact, back in September, a representative of the new government of Mali said that France, by its actions, itself forced Mali to look for other partners. In addition, the Mali government accused France of imitating the fight against terrorism by arranging the fight of the Nanai boys with one of the insignificant groups and completely abandoning the real fight against JNIM (yes, the same group that threatened to sue Russia in European courts, for denying the Islamists' right to wage jihad and sending her troops into Mali).
All in all, this topic promises to be quite hot in the coming months. Obviously, if Russia gains a foothold in Mali, then the influence of France in its former colonies, with which Mali borders - in the first place, this concerns Burkina Faso and Niger, will be called into question.

De Gaulle agreed with his predecessor. But he tried to warn his American friends not to take over from France in Indochine, as some Russians apparently want to do today in West Africa.
De Gaulle recalled:
"On May 31, 1961, President Kennedy arrived in Paris brimming over with dynamism, he and his dazzling and cultivated wife forming a remarkably attractive couple. They were surrounded by an atmosphere of lively curiosity, and the welcome they were given by the public was enthusiastic in the extreme.
"The official receptions In the capital and at Versailles were of the greatest splendor. But the main thing, of course, was the series of meetings between the President, seconded by Dean Rusk and Gavin, and myself accompanied by Debre Couve de Murville and Alphand.
"...what Kennedy offered me in every case was a share in his projects. What he heard from me in reply was that Paris was by all means disposed to collaborate closely with Washington, but that whatever France did she did of her own accord.
"When the President reverted to the question of the Congo where, at the instigation of the US, the U.N. Secretary‐General, Dag Hamrnarskjold, was setting up a government to replace that of Patrice Lumumba, I declined to have anything to do with the operation. But it was above all on the subject of Indochina that I pointed out to Kennedy how far apart our policies were. ...In South Vietnam, after having encouraged the seizure of dictatorial power by Ngo Dinh Diem and hastened the departure of the French advisers, ... Kennedy gave me to understand that the American aim was to establish a bulwark against the Soviets in the Indochinese peninsula. But instead of giving him the approval he wanted, I told President Kennedy that he was taking the wrong road.
“' You will find,' I said to him, 'that intervention in this area will be an endless entanglement. Once a nation has been aroused, no foreign power, however strong, can impose its will upon it. ...
“ 'We French have had experience of it. You Americans wanted to take our place in Indochina. Now you want to take over where we left off and revive a war which we brought to an end. I predict that you will sink step by step into a bottomless military and political quagmire, however much you spend in men and money.'
"Kennedy listened to me. But events were to prove that I had failed to convince."
- from the last volume of Gen. de Gaulle's “Memoirs of Hope, Renewal end Endeavor"

[REGNUM] Heavy snowfalls that have covered Crimea and Sevastopol in recent days have allowed residents and guests of the peninsula to briefly plunge into a real winter fairy tale.
Snow cover has formed even in Balaklava, and residents call such an amount of snow a great rarity.
Today, in Balaklava Bay, you can see an unusual sight - yachts under a layer of snow, their owners rushing to clean the ships. Photos at the link
Commentary by Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] A juvenile moron, blogger Matthew Yuferov, 19, received four years in a general regime colony for pissing on a stand with a photograph of a Great Patriotic War veteran, after which he began to promote his "accomplishments" on social networks.
At the trial, Yuferov apologized for his behavior, but pleaded not guilty to the charges.
In addition to the real term, Yuferov was denied access to the Internet for 5 years. As they say, one less moron in the network.
The liberal public is already screaming about the "monstrous verdict on the child." We urgently need to give the "Sakharov Prize" and add them to the list of "political prisoners."
- Dad, dad, and what were you in prison for?
- I was a fashion blogger, pissing on war heroes in the park and posting them on Instagram.
[IsraelTimes] If Abbas' message gets through to the right people, then Israel's Jews and Arabs might just get their acts together to work to improve things for everyone.
These days, Mansour Abbas never fails to surprise. The leader of the Islamist party in Israel,
...the Ra’am party is the party of the Islamic Movement - Southern Branch, the political wing of the Muslim Brotherhood in Israel. They split from their Arab-Israeli brother parties to join Naftali Bennett’s coalition ruling Israel, an unexpected choice...
historically seen as sitting on the more extreme side of the Arab parties in Israel, has now made a very clear statement calling on Israeli Arabs to accept the reality and legitimacy of Israel as a Jewish state. His statement reflects a pragmatic approach to Israeli society and politics that first emerged in his historic decision to join the governing coalition headed by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.
Much attention then was appropriately paid to the fact that for the first time in the history of Israel, an Arab political party is part of the governing coalition, indeed not only a part, but a key to the formation and survival of this government. It was seen as an indicator and a catalyst from the Jewish side for improved Jewish-Arab relations within Israeli society.
